According to the recent conducted research by Dr. Arshad Jahangir, who is known as the professor of Mayo clinic, people with Restless Leg Syndrome are more prone of developing a heart disorder. Restless Leg syndrome is referred to as a neurological disorder and is identified by an irresistible urge to move one's legs. This way, people have more risk of getting their heart muscles thickened and over a period of time they can suffer a serious heart condition. In fact, according to Dr. Arshad, Restless Leg Syndrome is the most common disease that no one has ever heard of.

For conducting this study, around 584 patients were diagnosed with Restless Leg Syndrome and all of them were referred to an overnight sleep clinic. Further it was found that males, older people and those having a higher incidence of coronary artery disease move their legs more frequently while asleep.

It has been also stated by the doctors that people with a thickening heart muscles are at a greater risk for developing heart problems. In this regard, Jahangir emphasizing people with such syndrome to discuss their health condition with their doctors also disclosed ''What is new about this study is that it appears Restless Leg Syndrome is another risk factor that may predispose patients to and lead to more complications of left ventricular hypertrophy”.
